I love shitting on Python, but I feel like all those problems are present in libraries for other languages as well. There's a tonne of that crap for JS/TS.

Similarly, I find a fair number of Rust crates (that I want to use) have virtually no doc or inline examples, and use weird metaprogramming that I can't wrap my head around.

bonus points if you're using a statically typed language but the library uses extensive metaprogramming seemingly for the sole purpose of hiding what types you actually need

It's still crazy to me that Django doesn't have type hints.

This is probably my biggest complaint about trying to learn Python past the beginner level and into intermediate and beyond. This is also one of my strongest arguments in favor of static type systems over dynamic ones.

Rust crates have the second and third problems.

Rust at least has type annotation.

The type has private fields. There's no constructor. There's no implementation of the From trait except on itself. You can't find a function anywhere that returns the type.

you should learn Rust. the type system is so comprehensive that half the time you can guess what a function does (or at the very least what you're supposed to pass to it) without a single line of human written documentation.

Using cryptic parameter names is just nonsense when you can obviously use lewd cryptic parameter names instead.

also how they are used as backdoors nowadays

And now we have free threads so I can't say at least you don't have normal concurrency problems 🤣

I really like Python. The only thing I don't want to do with Python is support a large code base. Lack of strict typing makes refactoring awful

I'm just glad I have other options than just Python. Am not afraid of writing my solutions either. I rarely use Python these day.
